patience says i can wait
but i can't wait
no, not another aimless day
this silent wave
rolls down the bay
collecting bottles of dismay
inside this house
where i would stay
i lay these models made of clay
the characters
i thought i'd play
but now know must decay
it's just a mile away
or so they say
until we reach the golden ray
to wash away
the gray of all our clouds and rain
it's just a mile away
or so i pray
pray i meet my promise day
out from the one i loved
the ancient glove
holding me in place
keeping me in snug
a heavy weight
i'll have to drop
out from under it
out from under rock
the sun is nowhere to be found
but i can't go back
into underground
i wanna know
what this world beholds
i wanna know
it's just a mile away
or so they say
until we reach the golden ray
to wash away
the gray of all our clouds and rain
it's just a mile away
for i have faith
faith i'll meet my promise day
